/OSGeo is pleased to be a part of the Premier Geospatial Industry Event 
- *Geospatial World Forum* as a Strategic Institutional Partner. 
Geospatial World Forum is scheduled to be held from *13-16 May, 2013* at 
*Rotterdam World Trade Centre, The Netherlands*. On 16^th May, OSGeo is 
also organising a Seminar that will display an optimal blend of 
successful open source use-cases and presentations to enlarge insight in 
business concepts around open source software in the geospatial sector. 
Bring out use of metadata, as one of the major players in making 
geospatial data accessible and explore new opportunities for enterprises 
to create appealing applications with a vast amount of open data that is 
location oriented./

/What makes Geospatial World Forum a must-attend event of 2013 is the 
fact that this is a key conference which aims at bringing together key 
stakeholders of the geospatial eco-system including technology 
developers, policy makers and most importantly end-users of the 
technology to facilitate interactions and growth of the industry. Since 
2007, the conference has played the role of a facilitative platform for 
harnessing growth of the geospatial sector and establishing its vital 
role in several vertical domains like mining and exploration, 
governance//, //construction, utilities, environment, disaster 
management and the like. The deliberations at this year's forum will 
revolve around the central theme -- *Monetising Geospatial Value and 
Practices* which will highlight the return of investment and social 
value that geospatial helps businesses and governments to create in 
their work process and output./

/We welcome all our members to take advantage of this international 
platform to network with the industry experts, learn from innovative 
end-users, discuss policy issues with senior decision makers and
